James is a filmmaker based in Los Angeles by way of Ocean City, Maryland.

As the co-founder of Someone Great Pictures, he not only oversees production, but is an on-set and post-production Swiss army knife, who shoots, edits and wrangles logistics. His work on the upcoming “Sincerely, Los Angeles” can be seen in every aspect of filmmaking from pre-to-post production.

In addition to producing branded and editorial online video content as the former Head of Video at Evolve Media, James has worked in many capacities in the production space over the last 13 years. James studied Theory and Practice of Cinema with a focus on Production Management at California State Long Beach and continues his passion to explore stories that highlight the complexity of the human condition.
